Answer:

The minimum resistance value is $R_V =44.552\ \Omega$

Explanation:

According to the question, we have:

The voltage given as $E = 7.5V$

The internal resistance as $r = 0.45$

The goal here is to find the minimum resistance for the voltmeter such that its reading is within 1.0% of the battery's emf.

This means we require voltmeter resistance such that:

V = (100% - 1%) of E

Where E is the battery's e.m.f. and V is the voltmeter reading.

So, V = 99% of E = 0.99 E = 7.425.

In general, we have:

E = V + ir

where ir denotes the internal voltage drop across the voltmeter, and V is the reading from the voltmeter.

By rearranging, we get:

$i = \frac{(E-V)}{r}$

$=\frac{7.50-7.425}{0.45}$

$= 0.1667 A$

Since the current remains constant throughout the circuit:

$V = iR_V$

where $R_V$ is the voltmeter resistance value.

Hence, $R_V = \frac{V}{i} = \frac{7.425}{0.1667}$

$=44.552\ \Omega$

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:

Sav [3153]

Heat supplied to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work applied to the gas = W = -743 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

Additional explanation

The Ideal Gas Law that should be remembered is:

$\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }$

P = Pressure (Pa)

V = Volume (m³)

n = number of moles (moles)

R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)

T = Absolute Temperature (K)

Now, let’s proceed with the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

Given:

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

Unknown:

Work done on the gas = W =?

Heat supplied to the gas = Q =?

Solution:

Step A:

An ideal gas expands isothermally:

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

$5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2$

$V_2 = 10 \div 3$

$V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

Next, we will determine the work performed on the gas:

$W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)$

$W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)$

$W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

Step B:

By utilizing the methodology mentioned earlier:

$P_2V_2 = P_3V_3$

$3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3$

$V_3 = 10 \div 2$

$V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

Next, we will ascertain the work completed on the gas:

$W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)$

$W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})$

$W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

Ultimately, we can calculate the total work done and heat supplied as follows:

$W = W_A + W_B$

$W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}$

$\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

$\Delta U = Q + W$

$0 = Q + (-743)$

$\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}$

Calculate the average charge on arginine when ph=9.20. (hint : find the average charge for each ionizable group and sum these to

Sav [3153]

Arginine is classified as a basic amino acid since it has two amino groups alongside a single acid group. At a low pH level, all ionizable groups are protonated. As the pH rises slightly, the acid group loses its proton. When the pH increases further, one of the amino groups also loses a proton. At considerably high pH levels, none of the ionizable groups remain protonated.

Pkas

<span> <span><span> <span> pka1 = 1.82 </span> <span> pka2 = 8.99 </span> <span> pka3 = 12.48 </span> </span> </span></span> Thus, 9.20 is above the second pKa and below the third pKa. This indicates that the acid has already lost its proton, as has one of the amino groups, while the second amino group remains protonated. When an acid is not protonated, it carries a negative charge. An unprotonated amino group is neutral, whereas when protonated, the amino group bears a positive charge. Therefore, this amino acid exhibits one positive charge (from one of the amino groups) and one negative charge (from the acid), resulting in an overall neutral charge.

A good quarterback can throw a football at 27 m/s (about 60 mph). If we assume that the ball is caught at the same height from w

ValentinkaMS [3465]

Response:

The ball remained airborne for 3.896 seconds

Explanation:

Given that

g = 9.8 m/s², representing gravitational acceleration,

If the angle of launch is 45°, the horizontal range will be maximized.

Both horizontal and vertical launch velocities are equal, each equating to

v_h = v cos θ

v_h = 27 × cos 45°

= 19.09 m/s.

The duration to reach maximum height is half of the flight time.

v = u + at ∵ v = 0 (at maximum height)

19.09 - 9.8 t₁ = 0

t₁ = 1.948 s

The total time in the air equals twice the time to reach maximum height

2 t₁ = 3.896 s

The horizontal distance covered is

D = v × t

D = 3.896×19.09

= 74.375 m

The ball was in the air for 3.896 seconds

Multiply the number 4.48E-8 by 5.2E-4 using Google. What is the correct answer in scientific notation?

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

$2.32\times 10^{-11}$

Explanation:

The first number is $4.48\times 10^{-8}$ .

The second number is $5.2\times 10^{-4}$ .

We must multiply these two numbers together.

$4.48\times 10^{-8}\times 5.2\times 10^{-4}=(4.48\times 5.2)\times 10^{(-8-4)}\\\\=23.296\times 10^{-12}$

In scientific notation: $2.32\times 10^{-11}$

Therefore, this is the solution you are looking for.
